that part of Hickman County, Tennessee, which became Perry County. He resided in
Montgomery County, North Carolina, when he re-enlisted within a week in

Lieutenant in Captain Douglass' company in Colonel Lytle's North Carolina
regiment until the close of the war. He died June 30, 1844 in Hickman County.

being given and to his two children by her, Mary Campbell born 1783 and James,
born 1785. Richard Campbell married Rachel in October, 1789, in Rockingham
